Specify Countries/States I Ship To
In other guides regarding Shipping Settings and Shipping Methods, we stated that Shift4Shop shipping is composed of two separate sections that work closely together. However, a third section can also come into play when configuring your cart's shipping capabilities.
The third section of your overall shipping configuration is the Shipping Countries section. In this section, you will be able to specify which countries and states you are willing to deliver to. When you first set up your Shift4Shop store, ALL countries and ALL states are enabled. However, you may have specific needs which require you to limit the scope of your shipping area.
For example, you may sell region-specific media like Blu-Ray movies that only play on devices sold in specific markets, and selling them to the wrong market would only increase the amount of returned merchandise you get. Perhaps there are legal or even product licensing reasons for limiting the areas you ship to. Whatever the case may be, you can specify exactly which countries your cart is able to ship to.
Shipping Countries
To update the available shipping countries and states, do the following:
Go to Settings > Shipping.
Scroll down until you get to the "Country List" section, and click on the Edit Countries button.
Check the checkbox next to the country you want to deliver to, and uncheck the countries you do not want to deliver to.
Click the Save button located at the top right to commit your changes.
You may also want to limit or enable specific states (these can be states/territories/provinces/etc.) within your selected countries. For example, in the case of the United States as the country, your catalog of products cannot be shipped to a specific state due to their individual state laws. Or perhaps you only want to ship to specific provinces in Canada. Whatever the case may be, you can also edit the country selections to enable/disable or even add/remove specific "states" within these countries.
Go to Settings > Shipping.
Scroll down until you get to the "Country List" section, and click on the Edit Countries button.
Go to the country listing that you'd like to edit and look to the far right to click on its Actions/Check States link.
From here, you can do one of the following:
Check the checkbox next to a state to make that state available, and click Save.
Uncheck the checkbox next to a state to make that state unavailable, and click Save.
To remove a state, check the Remove checkbox next to a state and click Save.
To add a new state, in the Add New State section, enter the name and two-letter abbreviation for the state and click Save. (Check your shipping carrier for the appropriate abbreviations.)
For your convenience, United States and Canadian Provinces have been pre-populated for you.
